Another fun fact: The first time I played Blue I never got past Agatha. Stupid switching-out-her-pokemon all the time.
Hmm, Agatha didn't do that when I fought her, but then again, that might be just because Benadryl didn't give her enough time to do so. =P

I'd wonder why there would be graves in a place like this, but I've learned that I shouldn't think about these things too much.
Oh, that's right, I wonder how much Giovanni paid him for this whole thing.
...Uh...
(Slightly relevant and equally creepy.)
WINSTON vs. AGATHA
So, uh, judging by our surroundings, I'd say you use Ghost Pokémon. Lucky you. I have just the perfect tapir to deal with those.
...Uh, can I just check on my Pikachu for a second? I think he's having a seizure.
I have no idea who would even WANT to lick Ben, but it doesn't work on him either way.
Argh, so close.
Oh, look, Pithius is better now.
Don't you ninjaing faint on me again, you useless rat.
Oh God. Remember, Pithius: your target is blue, has wings and is one of the most obnoxious living beings ever.
...Did that Golbat just get sucked into a...? No... No. I'm just seeing things... I must be tired.
Your turn again, Ben.
Pfft, and you call yourselves the
Elite Four.
Whoooooa.
Hey, I thought Ben couldn't fall asleep!
Well, at least I still have this.
You poor senile old lady, you can't use Dream Eater on Pokémon that aren't asleep.
Now Benadryl's perpetual insomnia kicks in.
Well, despite what I said about you before, you're pretty cool for an old lady, I guess.
You have no idea, do you?
Well... We're almost done.
Ugh, I wonder how many cameras they installed in this unnecessarily long hallway...
Yeah, I bet you did.
...There are Dragon Pokémon?!
Holy crap, is Sol half-dragon?
Is Jimmy half-dragon too?!
Eh, that's what they all say.
WINSTON vs. LANCE: Not Recommended To Anyone Who Suffers From A Heart Condition
Sooo, are you as easy as Bruno and Agatha?
(Weeell... I kinda had to load a savestate here. Sorry. The previous run was simply a trainwreck.)
Hey, that's not a dragon at all!
Yeah, still playing it safe with Jack.
Come on, I know you're at least
slightly more useful than Pithius.
Okay, just stay there until I get a chance to send the rat out, and...
(I was pretty much testing the AI here. I'll explain later.)
...WHAT THE--
Holy CRAP.
Pithius, meet Gyarados.
Gyarados, meet electricity.
Okay, I may have to use something I'm not quite used to.
A
strategy.
You're stronger than Jack, right?
Right.
Okay, now it's time for those critical hits.
Eeeexcellent.
Now, let's hope Lance doesn't have any Full Restores.
If one of your dragons is KOed in an awfully torturous and painful manner, the most logical thing to do is send out another one that's essentially the same.
ARGH IT'S NOT THE SAME AT ALL
Hang in there, Venus!
Venus deserves to rest.
...Lance is definitely trying to piss me off.
(Yes, folks, it's that lovely attack that prevents you from doing ANYTHING in Gen 1!)
(Fortunately, it also means your foe can't do much either.)At least that Dragonair is slowly approaching its demise.
And this is how Jimmy won a battle by simply standing there and staring at his opponent.
Another Aerodactyl? These prehistorical Pokémon are more common than you'd think.
Ooh, Swift. I'm so scared.
It's JIMMY TIME.
...Oh, you bastard.
Wait, how come it did more damage this time? Eh, I'm not complaining.
Hmm, I'm not even sure if that looks intimidating or not.
Something tells me this is a good idea.
SHHHHHHHH-
DAMN.
Okay, Venus, we--
...It knows Fire Blast too.
You're my sacrificial lamb, Pithius.
Eh, might as well...
Bye, Pithius.
Okay, shouldn't be too hard now.
...I... I never asked anyone if I have heart problems. I'm starting to fear for my health.
GrrrrARRRRRGH.
Just a few more seconds, Venus...
(Yes, that damage Dragonite took since that Hyper Potion is all from Leech Seed and Toxic.)
Thank God.
Wait, what about...
Yeah, that. What a surprise.
Drumroll, please.
I AM IN AWE.
Screw you, Giovanni.
...This is it. For real, this time.
***
Lance pretty much reads your mind. In the first run, he just used Hyper Beam in the first round, but later, I decided to try and use Fly so that, if he HBed that turn, he would miss, and in the next turn, both Jack and Gyarados would be defenceless. Repeat until Gyarados is lying unconscious on the floor bleeding from every possible spot. But no, he knew I was going to use Fly and used Dragon Rage instead. Later, I wasted a turn on purpose by using a Super Potion and he used Hyper Beam right away.
Anyway, the next update will be about as big as this, too. I hope you're at least a little excited.
